A combination you never thought you’d see in the same eyeshot!

After my comment last April that we might not see a certain sight again, of course I now stand corrected in the wake of the space shuttle Endeavour’s ceremonious airborne arrival in California last month.

Now I can say with far greater certainty that the captivating images coming to us from Los Angeles this weekend will never come again, unless of course Endeavour decides one day to take up residence in another city or state.  For the time being, as the spacecraft makes its way through the streets of L.A. ever so slowly– even more slowly than planned—  to its retirement home at the California Science Center, the photos continue to impress.  At the end of the day, this “once in a lifetime” event deserves to be remembered.
